1980 Barros Colheita Port 1 x 0.75L

DESCRIPTION
Barros wines are a celebration of Portuguese talent. They are the expression of a talent that is ours, refined through experience and knowledge. They were born at the troubled beginning of the 20th century, in 1913, and managed to assert themselves until they were recognized as a reference by consumers. In deep respect for Portugueseness, Barros wines embrace the Tawny and Ruby families of Port Wine.

WINEMAKER: Pedro Sá.

WINE VARIETIES: Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca & Touriga Nacional.

VINIFICATION
Hand-picked at the point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process which is based on careful maceration with the extraction of color, tannins and skin aromas, complemented by permanent pumping over during fermentation. This is carried out in stone basins at controlled temperatures between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baumé. At this point, eau-de-vie (vinage) is added, resulting in a fortified wine. Of very high quality, it results from a single vintage. Aging in barrels for variable periods, never less than 7 years, which can immediately be bottled, according to market demands.

TASTING NOTES
Amber color. Bouquet of dried fruits and spices. Soft and velvety in the mouth with a persistent finish.

SERVING
Excellent accompaniment to egg and sugar desserts and dried fruit desserts. Store in an upright position, in a cool, dry place, protected from light and temperature fluctuations. Serve at a temperature between 14ºC and 16ºC. Consume in moderation.
